About us
Meet Thomas Ryder
Founder of All Purpose Paws — building dependable, personalized pet care around a genuine belief that animals matter.
Why I started this
A business built on a love for animals
I'm Thomas Ryder, and I started All Purpose Paws for a simple reason: animals matter. They're family. They're part of our daily routines, our moods, and our homes — and the care they receive when we can't be there should reflect that.
This business began with a belief that pets deserve reliable, attentive care from someone who genuinely values them. Every walk, every visit, every check-in is built around the idea that your pet is important — to you, and to me.
I work with each owner to understand their pet's routine, temperament, and needs, and I show up consistently so both you and your dog always know what to expect. Whether it's a regular weekday walk or a few visits while you're away, the goal is the same: dependable, personalized care that gives you peace of mind.
What we emphasize
- Responsible pet handling
- Clear communication
- Personalized attention
- Dependable scheduling
- Respect for each pet's routine
- Convenient care for busy owners
- Helping dogs stay active and comfortable
We serve the Las Vegas Valley. We don't publish a street address — all services are provided at your home or in your community.

Your pets stay in a familiar environment while you're at work, running errands, or away.
Vacation pet care through scheduled visits
Scheduled visits arranged around your travel dates and your pet's normal routine.
